About This Route
Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Malaga (AGP) to Charles De Gaulle (CDG)?
Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Malaga to Paris. While Malaga's Mediterranean departure is scenic, the Paris approach via the Seine valley and Versailles grounds provides more distinctive, recognizable landmarks and greater visual variety during the critical landing phase. The Seine's meanders and the contrast between rural valley and urban Paris create more compelling scenery than the relatively brief Malaga coastal view. Right side scores higher for the full flight experience.
